This is a little bit different, because aussie.zone is hosted in Australia, run by, and primarily used by Australians. The European courts and GDPR people probably have bigger fish to fry than the 1 or 2 people that may or may not use our instance. The same is also true of our court system and these laws, but it’s still a little bit different in my view, as it would cost way less to prosecute our instance admins, than it would be for the European systems.
Your argument is certainly applicable to other instances not run by people easily prosecuted here, but I don’t think it’s really that relevant. Considering the fines are up to ~49 million dollars, I certainly wouldn’t stake my money on just being deemed “too small to care about” if I were in their shows.

I don’t know the specifics of gpdr, but every site updated their privacy policies when it came in to say they’d change the way they collect data and would provide what they have on users or delete at request.
If that’s all there is to it, then yes. We don’t collect anything on users that isn’t in their profe or settings pages. And yes - you have the power to delete all that yourself.

Yeah, not having ads or selling user information makes it a lot easier to comply with gdpr. Its been a while since I read through it, but from memory, it’s largely around how you have to store user info, deleting PII within a certain timeframe of account deletion, managing inactivity, and providing a way to delete information
The only thing I can think of is that Lemmy does log IPs in a log thing somewhere in the docker files, but they’re not attached to an account that I recall, so I don’t think that poses a GDPR problem
